Just replaced my striker guide while watching your video. Thank you very much and wow what a difference in the trigger pull!!! $14 shipped. Absolute must do!
I just watched your video and liked your suggestion of cleaning up the yellow plastic striker guide. I cannot believe what a difference that made. Didn't reduce trigger pull but boy o boy i cleaned up about a third of the mush before the break. I'll definitely be getting. The stainless guide. I also noticed the striker spring was binding up a but on the retainer cup under compression so I radiused those edges also.
One quick comment on removing the spring keepers, take an empty/spent 9mm casing and it will fit in it and hold the firing pin steady while you remove/install the keepers. Extra light is helpful.
Thanks for the tutorial. I just ordered those two parts for my new G3C toro black/tan that I purchased Aug 2. Want to start off good with this gun. I also subscribed to your channel.
I put the steel sleeve in and took it out 5 minutes later that yellow plastic is smoother in my pistol,,I did like the small reset spring from lakeline
@@DefenseTrainingSC Wouldn’t it also be a good idea to also install the $12.95 LakelineLLC Stainless Steel Striker Spring Retainer instead of keeping the stock plastic one?
@@DefenseTrainingSC awesome! Just ordered mine. What would you suggest as a break in period for the stainless spring from lakeline? And do you know if it's the same poundage? Lakeline doesn't say
Mine was stuck inside the gun and I had to pull it out ((Which was hard )) and it didn't just pop out, had to actually pull it out and after cleaning it it wont fire any round but will click when I don't have rounds in it, have any advice?
Bro, where did you get the stainless firing pin retainer sleeve? It's been a while since I thought of upgrading my G3c but, seeing this makes it a MUST DO! I've seen the stainless recoil spring on ebay. I usually order threw LakelineLLC, BloodywheelsUSA but, this is my 1st time seeing the upgraded/stainless firing pin sleeve. I need that in my life asap! Thank you!
@defensetraining3793 I just removed the firing pin on my G3c & the reassembly was the harder part! Luckily, my original plastic sleeve is still mint after the torture the 800-1k rounds it has endured. I am ordering the kit threw LakelineLLC. Thank-you for pointing that out!!!
Obviously steel parts beat plastics parts every time, but a question. Will replacing plastic parts with steel parts make it safer to shoot higher pressure ammo from the gun?
The only parts that would help running hotter loads would be a stiffer recoil spring. The stainless guide rod and spring is a little stiffer than the stock one. And a better barrel, however the Taurus runs +p off the shelf loads with no problem.
@@DefenseTrainingSC I asked because I usually get the cheapest standard pressure rounds I can find. However recently I got 4 100 round boxes of winchester milsurp m1152. On the box it claims 1320 fps at the muzzle. I think it's at 39000 psi which puts it just a tad over the +p thresh hold but just a tad short of +p+. I ran a couple mags full through my G3 and it worked fine but the recoil felt like twice that of standard pressure. Just wondering of you think the recoil spring and steel guide rod from lake line would be a good move
I upgraded all three of my G series guns and ever since then each of of them keep making mis fires (duds). I contacted Lakeline for some feedback and they gave me nothing--they said the guns are dirty ; and they are not dirty these are clean. The misfires (over 10%) started as soon as I placed the parts in them....bad customer service. BTW, I followed this step by step instructions to the letter.
@@DefenseTrainingSC It does. The safety is working amd I've seen othwr videos where they don't press the plunger down. Could there be something wrong with you're particular gun?
